A plate of “arrocito con Con Con” might seem like an unlikely starting point for a song about presence, detachment, and letting go of the need to control every thought. That is precisely what makes “Con Con” compelling: Faustino turns an everyday expression into the center of a song that chooses feeling over overthinking. As the opening track of Sentir es Vivir, his debut EP, it also works as a statement of intent—allowing experience to happen without trying to hold on to it.
The repeated line “yo solo dejo que salga lo que quiera salir” condenses that philosophy into something remarkably simple. Rather than searching for solemn answers, Faustino embraces whatever thoughts, emotions, or experiences arrive and allows them to move on. The “arrocito con Con Con” brings the idea back into the body and the senses: when the mind becomes too demanding, something immediate, tangible, and pleasurable redirects attention toward the present.
Folk psychedelia without the solemnity
Psychedelic folk, freak folk, folktronica, and Latin Indie meet in a concise track whose experimentation comes more from its concept than from formal complexity. Folk and Latin sensibilities open toward psychedelic and electronic dimensions while preserving an atmosphere that feels playful, relaxed, and introspective.
The present, served on a plate
Con Con becomes an unexpectedly grounded metaphor for detachment. Faustino does not explain how to reach the present; he simply lets things emerge, lets them go, and pays attention to something small. That choice turns a spiritual idea into an intimate, sensory experience rooted in everyday life.
